I have a working theory that CGC is out of magazine encapsulation supplies.

It is the only reason I can come up with for why both my Eastman signing (been at Encapsulation for over 3 weeks according to CGC customer service and despite been listed as Scheduled for Grading) and Magazine Walkthrough Press & Grade (still sitting at Received since 4/11/2021 - even with new TATs well over a week late) submissions are significantly delayed.

I've given up trying to get any sense or comfort from CGC Customer Service.

I believe CGC holds magazines until they get enough to warrant switching over the encapsulation machines. This was the way it was expressed to me in the past.

I think this made sense in the past. But I have a hard time believing they don't have the volume on magazines coming in at this point where they need to stockpile them. Maybe with the added fees they can buy a few more machines and dedicate some of them to magazines.

on the cgccomics.com home page yesterday cgc had a disclaimer that it needed to update for like 6 hours, 6 am to 12 pm eastern today  

I didn't know if it would be the submission page or forms, the boards, TAT et or just what it was, but it's like 1pm eastern now so should be ok soon I hope

I got that initially and then it said that they couldn't fetch my cart.

Then subsequent tries just give me a blank screen.

Oh well, I'll wait cuz I'm patient.

Well they did announce that they would be doing maintenance today. Although the said from about 5am till 12. So should be done, but every time they have done upgrades or maintenance it always takes longer and has a list of glitches.

Looks like it is working now. Been trying all day just to open a comic submissions form. Now I'm in...

Greggy must have been jamming the system with his mass submissions again.

My 25 book Value submission from 1/20/2021 is finally in Shipping. It has taken nearly double the amount of time that was stated upon the submission being entered in the system to get the books graded.

And for anyone keeping track, they have been receiving books from the week of April 5th for over two weeks now (this starts the third week), so the 4 weeks out to receive your submission is obviously going to take longer if it is now taking two weeks to clear one week of submissions. A few members have updated their status from books that hit that week.

And this is before the huge onslaught that crippled their servers.

So if your Economy hit this week you can look for it around October 26 of this year.
